An ostracized brain

[pineapplebunnybounce]

This is very hard to speculate on because almost everything we know and think about are based on what we understand from our perception of the environment. If you don't perceive anything ... there's no framework to build upon. Hmm. The brain is able to recognize self and nonself when intact with a body, there are people who get brain damage and think that their left arms belong to someone else because the brain can no longer recognize it as self. But if your brain just sits there, what is it supposed to recognize as self? It cannot feel it's own existence. So i wonder if there's even a concept of self to develop a "person" around.
